Uh, no?

\relative { \harmonicNotes {...} }

would be rather weird without treating the inner music as relative.
\partcombine, on the other hand, splits its contents into two separate
parts before \relative gets to see it.  If those parts were visible to
relative after being split, the behavior would be quite peculiar.
